Vita is an icon.
She was saved from certain death in a slaughterhouse in Zhanjiang City, where Animal Equality investigators found her in 2013 while investigating the massive illegal dog and cat meat trade. terrible in China.
Vita was brought to safety in Madrid, a far cry from the horror she experienced, but she was not traveling alone: In fact, as soon as she arrived in Spain, we found out that she is carrying 9 puppieswhich she will give birth a few days later.
When she was saved, no one knew she was pregnant with 9 more lives, that’s why her rescue is worth 10 times more!
At the vet during the discovery of Vita’s puppies:
Today, Vita and her puppies are living happily—loved and respected—and are vivid reminders of all the dogs that continue to die because of the cruel dog meat industry.
With the help of many Chinese activists who have supported our work, Vita’s story and footage from our investigation reached millions of people around the world—including in China—while raising public awareness of the hidden acts of violence against dogs and cats.
And while Vita is incredibly lucky to be rescued, a lot of dogs and cats will suffer because of a brutal industry. In honor of Vita and all those defenseless animals, Our campaign won’t stop until China’s brutal dog and cat meat trade becomes a distant memory..
